Aren't conservatives supposed to be for less government? If the leftists ever regain power, they may use many provisions of the so-called "Patriot Act" against their political opposition. We should NEVER give government that much power. Unfortunately, far too many conservatives have no problem with big government as long as they're the ones in power. Such hypocrisy is what turns me off from supporting many Republican candidates who cried about the evils of "big government" under Bill Clinton while embracing it under G.W. Bush.
